"I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have hired Delfino (Robert & Ariana) to level a section of my yard and add a gravel pad for a shed being built. They are super responsive, friendly, and more than fair. Saying I have a complicated yard is an understatement. I’ve had ridiculous quotes in the past and some who have told me what I needed was impossible. Delfino proved them wrong….and for much less money! They even surprised me with doing some work on my (also impossible) driveway at no extra cost because they had enough extra in materials. If you’re looking for kindness, fairness, and honesty..do yourself a favor and hire this incredible family business. You’ll be so thankful you did!! Thank you so much Robert & Ariana Delfino ❤️"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

You should dig 3 to 6 inches deep for plastic edging. Dig as wide as you need to fit your plastic edging into it—2 inches is usually sufficient.

You do not have to dig footers for a deck as long as it meets local code and holds up to weather in your area. If you live somewhere that experiences high winds and earthquakes, you may need to dig for your deck posts. Deck blocks, post anchors with base plates, and helical pile systems are the three no-dig deck post options you can choose from if local code permits.

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

The time it takes to build a pool—and dig out the area—varies based on the pool size and type. A professional excavator will take between four and eight hours to dig a pool. The process will take longer if they encounter large boulders or tree roots. Keep in mind that this is a small part of the process in the long run. You will need between eight and 12 weeks to build a pool from start to finish, including the time to apply for permits.

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
